Progress in Implementing the EMP 2 The project has been implemented in accordance with EMP requirements, and relevant environmental provisions have been included in the bidding document and contract. PPMO has distributed both the EMP and design documents to PIUs, contractors, and supervisors before the commencement of construction.At the project preparation stage, PPMO, PIUs, design institute, EIA Institute, and EPBs have conducted related public consultation activities in accordance to ADB requirements. The GRM has beenestablished and carried out by PPMO.Noncomplaintshave been received during this reporting period. 3Environmental officers of PPMO and PIUs have been working effectively on the project withthe support of Loan Implementation Environmental Consultant (LIEC). EMP trainings have been provided to relatedstaffs in PMO, PIUs, contractors and supervisors.PPMO and related PIUs conducted the environment impact assessment process for the proposed new components of Mid Term Review. The new components included the following Proposed new components; Qingzhou—Heihushan Reservoir Capacity Expasion, Shouguang—Judian Lake waterDiversionWorks, Huangtai—Recharge works by diverting water from Xiaoqing River to Matahu Wetland. Key issues 4The Independent compliance monitoring-- soil and water conservation monitoring indicated theseKey issues- that soil erosion in some construction sites wasserious. LIEC and Beijing linfengyuan ecological environment planning and Design Institute Co. Ltd. Found that soil and water conservation monitoring of the five subprojects hadenforced the related corrective requirements to control the soil erosion at these construction sites. These construction units had implemented strict measures mitigate soilerosion impacts at these construction sites according to the soil and water conservation plan. Related information is provided at the Appendix 4Monitoring DATA-- Soil and water conservation Monitoring results and analysis. TheseKey issues have been successfully improved. The results are shown in the attached photos—Appendix 4. 5Temporary and simple domestic facilities are mainly temporary Kitchens and dry latrines. The main pollutants in domestic sewage are COD, BOD5, SS, ammonia nitrogen and petroleum. Kitchen wastewater must be pretreated by oil barrier pools and used locally in surrounding farmland. Dry latrines are regularly cleaned and transported by villagers nearby. Domestic sewage and production wastewater should be disposed of reasonably and effectively to avoid the impact on surface water and groundwater environment.
